19		sl	Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says his sources tell him that Apple has moved away from developing a fully autonomous car-- aka Level 4-- to something closer to Level 2+, similar to Tesla's Full Self-drive mode. Level 2 means the car can assist with steering, braking and acceleration but the driver must remain aware and in control at all times. Gurman says Apple is targeting 2028 for a release at the earliest and may reconsider the project altogether.	https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-23/apple-car-ev-set-to-debut-in-2028-with-limited-autonomous-driving
20		tm	Samsung expanded its self-repair program to include home entertainment devices. The program offers step-by-step repair guides and access to genuine replacement parts and repair tools. The expansion adds 2023 TV and their remotes, monitors released in the past year, second-gen Freestyle projectors and select soundbars. IN other Samsung news, Samsung's Hon Pak told Bloomberg that the company is pursuing non-invasive blood glucose monitoring. Basically a way for a worn device to monitor glucose without breaking the skin. That would be a boon for people with diabetes and other conditions. It's not clear when or if Samsung will have it ready for a device like the Galaxy Ring. So-- get excited but not TOO excited I guess.	https://www.engadget.com/samsung-expands-self-repair-program-to-include-home-entertainment-devices-182215562.html

22		sl	Remember during CES when the SEC's X account briefly posted that it had approved Bitcoin ETFs, then the SEC said tis account had been compromised and the next day it actually did approve ETFs? Well if you were wondering how somebody got into the SEC's account in the first place, The SEC said Monday it was a SIM Swap. The SEC did not have multi-factor authentication on, meaning the once the attacker got control of the phone number, it was able to reset the password by text message.	https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/22/new-details-emerge-about-secs-x-account-hack-including-sim-swap.html
23		tm	Sierra Space's inflatable space habitat burst during a test of its inflation, exactly as intended. The Large Integrated Flexible Environment - aka LIFE - module handled 77 psi before ti burst, far exceeding NASA's recommended level of 60.8 psi. LIFE is 20 feet tall and around 1/3 the size of the international space station. That might normally take a dozen or so launches to get into space, but the inflatable module packs into a five-meter payload fairing. The module uses a polymer composite called Vectran. Blue Origin's Orbital Reef space station plans to use LIFE modules.	https://www.yahoo.com/news/successful-failure-sierra-spaces-inflatable-223238617.html
24		sl	Google is bringing three new features powered by its large language models to the Chrome browser. A writing assistant lets you right-click on any text box on any page and choose "help me write" to get suggestions. That's coming next month. Tab Organizer will now suggest groups of tabs based on the content of the sites and also suggest names for the tab groups. And you can now use a text-to-image generator to create a custom theme for your browser. These last two features will arrive in the next few days.	https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/23/google-chrome-gains-ai-features-including-a-writing-helper-theme-creator-and-tab-organizer/

29		tm	China has been cracking down on its video game industry for years now - In 2021 it put in a rule that children could only play games between 8-9 PM on most days - It also stopped approving license for new games August 2021 until December 2022. - The license approvals began again then but this last December 22, 2023, it looked like the pressure was turning back up: China's National Press and Publication Administration published proposed guidelines that would severely restrict in-app payments. --- The guidelines proposed warnings that spending appeared irrational, a ban on dincentives to log in daily, and a limit on large tips for game streamers. - Those rules caused $80 billion of market cap to disappear for TenCent and NetEase - The comment period expired Monday and Tuesday the guidelines disappeared without comment - Also the person in charge of the rollout of the guidelines has been removed from their post. - Most people think if there are revised guidelines they'll be fairly innocuous. - Meanwhile TenCent announced it was laying off 11% of its staff at Riot Games because of slowing game sales worldwide. NOTES - TenCent is second largest worldwide game publisher after Sony - Owns 40% of Epic	https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/22/china-quietly-pulls-draft-gaming-rules-from-website/

39		tm	HP has a system called "Dynamic Security" that can brick your printer if you use a third party ink cartridge. HP says this is for security. The system was introduced in 2016. The only known possible threat was a potential way to modify a third-party cartridge to cause a buffer overflow, published by an HP funded bug hunter in 2022. There's no evidence of it ever happening in the wild, and it would be a much more complex and costly attack than a network-based one. So HP issued a defense, then went and tried to find an example of what it theorized it was defending against. Also in 2022 it pushed a firmware update to fix the bug. But it didn't remove the code that affects third party ink, just in case another bug comes along. Because HP also says the measure helps protect its intellectual property. Also third party ink quality might not be appropriate for the HP printers and cause damage. And in the end HP wants to sell you ink on a subscription. HP's CEO Enrique Lorres told CNBC: "every time a customer buys a printer, it's an investment for us. We're investing [in] that customer, and if this customer doesn’t print enough or doesn’t use our supplies, it’s a bad investment." NOTES - Not all HP printers have Dynamic Security but any model that doesn't could add it with a firmware update in the future. - There are several lawsuits against HP regarding Dynamic Security, alleging that customers were not made aware it could brick their printers	https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/01/hp-ceo-blocking-third-party-ink-from-printers-fights-viruses/

51		sl	Monday Night Raw is coming to Netflix! Next year anyway. The streaming service and TKO Holdings, the parent company of WWE, announced a 10-year deal to broadcast its headline show, Monday Night Raw, starting in 2025. Netflix can exit the deal after five years, or extend it for another ten. Netflix can stream “Raw” globally, starting with exclusive rights to it in the U.S., Canada, U.K. and Latin America. Outside the US, Netflix will also stream “SmackDown", “NXT”, “WrestleMania,” “SummerSlam,” and “Royal Rumble.” Raw is currently the number-one rated show on NBCUniversal’s USA network with 3 hours of live programming every week, claiming 17.5 million unique viewers per year.	https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/23/24047785/netflix-monday-night-raw-exclusive-live-streaming-leaving-cable

53			NOTES: - Netflix has experimented with sports in Formula One, golf, tennis, and football series - CNBC source says Netflix could develop original content around WWE characters - December 2022, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said at the UBS Global TMT Conference that Netflix had not “seen a profit path to renting big sports.” - Neflix announced it has 23 million subscribers for its ad tier that first launched in November 2022 - Matches will reportedly be scripted around commercial breaks to satisfy ad-free customers, who will see continued action from live matches that aren’t important to the outcome, such as a wrestler in a sustained headlock

62			Komei asked - I love the look of Sarah's new studio! Where did you get the "cube" shelf behind you that seems to cover most of your wall? As you can guess, I have many gadgets and they are lying around randomly on my desk, table, and chairs. The size of the cube in your shelf would be perfect for my Quest, etc. and it would make my room look much more organized.

86			Market intelligence firm Appfigures reports that Apple's Vision Pro App Store has around 200 apps that were explicitly updated to visionOS for the Vision Pro. For context, Apple's main App Store has 1.8 million apps. Unless a developer opts out, the Vision Pro is technically compatible with iOS and iPad apps, so there are a lot more than 150 apps to choose from. But a high price point, limited supply for testing, and an unclear market opportunity long-term may be keeping some developers on the sidelines for now. Some apps that have been built for Vision Pro specifically include Box, Carrot Weather, Webex, Zoom, and Fantastical, although Meta's suite of apps, TikTok, Spotify, Google's suite of apps, Roku, Pandora, DoorDash, Amazon, Nike, and Nest and others have opted out.	https://techcrunch.com/2024/01/22/only-150-apps-have-been-designed-specifically-for-apples-vision-pro-so-far/
